Working Title: A show in collaboration with KQED and Needles & Pens

A podcast where hosted by Kelly Lynn Jones of LPP and Andrew Martin Scott, co-owner of Needles and Pens explore how local artist entrepreneurs are re-inventing the American Dream.

Bay Area artist Jay Nelson has always been into building tree houses, and now he does it for a living. Starting a few years back with a couple of installations in local art galleries, Jay, who has no formal carpentry training, taught himself how to build the imaginary structures that were floating around in his head. We talked to Jay about how he has been able to turn his passion into a business, learning more about his philosophy of life and his definition of success.
